Why the Baker-Hamilton Commission?
Reader comment on item: What Went Wrong with James A. Baker, III?
Submitted by Carter (United States), Dec 9, 2006 at 12:58
I don't understand why we are letting a bunch of 70-year-olds decide our course in Iraq. They are not elected, they are not part of the military, and they are not looking for a path to victory. The American public deserves to have the elected leaders and military officials determine the correct course for Iraq.
